Gateway

Secure Internet browsing without disruptions

Cloudflare Gateway is a cloud-native, low-latency Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that protects employees' Internet browsing from threats, inspecting browser traffic on the Cloudflare global network without introducing latency. It provides comprehensive protection by working in-line with other Cloudflare services like data loss prevention (DLP) and remote browser isolation.

Faster Internet Access

Cloudflare Gateway outperforms traditional SWG solutions with its single-pass inspection, eliminating traffic backhauling and ensuring secure browsing without disruptions. This results in faster Internet access for employees, with Cloudflare Gateway being 50% faster than SWG alternatives.

Comprehensive Threat Protection

Cloudflare Gateway provides advanced threat detection capabilities, utilizing DNS and HTTP telemetry, threat detection models, and machine learning to block both known and unknown threats. This multi-layered approach ensures that risks are caught and mitigated effectively.

Holistic Traffic Visibility and Control

Cloudflare Gateway offers visibility into Internet traffic across all users, devices, and locations. This enables holistic monitoring and streamlined policy building with predefined categories, helping organizations to better understand their Internet traffic and implement effective security policies.
